Default Opinions please

So I was looking through my VIP Style magazine last night and came across the JOBLOOD white Aristo with the Brabus style wheels on it. What do you guys think? I know someone selling a set for cheap (knock offs of course) but the offsets are low 19x9.5 all around +28 offset front and +22 rear. Should I let go of my wheels and pick these up?! What do you guys think?!

These are the actual wheels


Here are my wheels on my car

I always thaught a Brabus type wheel belongs on MB.period.

doesn't look like much lip action..............


but if I had to choose only between the ones on your car and the Brabus type......I guess I'd go with the Brabus type. but then theree knock off

I say keep looking.

Thats what I thought too. When I first saw the JOBLOOD car I thought it was a fresh look since I've never seen the wheels on any other car other then MB or BMW's. Netheir of the wheels are bad *** but I don't want to spend alot of money on some super VIP wheels and bend them since I would most likley run super stretched tires and to ad to that I drive my car everyday. I do alot of Property managing and real estate work so I see alot of roads, some good some horrible.

Default wheels?

I like the finish and think it would enhance the color, but I would keep looking for more lip action!

The pics work fine on my end. I'am selling my car doesn't mean I can't keep fixing it up =D



What if I paint the face of my wheels silver or have them polished? I know of a place that can do excellent work on polishing them.
